Title
Krell described the album's title in a message on Twitter:[4]
my new album is called "What Is This Heart?"--- just like that, in quotes, like a spoken question.
Critical reception
"What Is This Heart?" received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 69, based on 32 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[6]
Ian Cohen of Pitchfork gave a very positive review of the album, stating, ""What Is This Heart?" makes you initially susceptible and vulnerable, and that's risky when modern discourse seeks metaphorical blood, allowing people to disclose more than ever without actually revealing anything. So make no mistake, the title of this album is a challenge as well, as How to Dress Well's modern masterpiece is conducted with the most eternal transparency—Krell asks "what is this heart" and lets you look right into his own."[12]
